I learned this song as a child and would dearly love to share this with my grandchildren. Like Travis, I know the words phonetically, but would like to know the translation and any more verses if available.

Kilakila `o Haleakalā
Kuahiwi nani o Maui
Ha`aheo wale `oe Hawai`i
Hanohano Maui nō ka `oi

Kauhale o Ka`ao`ao
`Ike aku iā Kilohana
Kāua i ke one he`ehe`e
Me nā alanui kīke`eke`e

Kau ana lā kau ana
Kau ana ko ia ala maka
`O ua lio holo peki
Mea `ole ko ia ala holo

Translation
Majestic Haleakalā
Beautiful mountain of Maui
Prized by you, Hawai`i
Glorious Maui, is the very best

Ka`ao`ao is our home
That looks upon Kilohana
You and I on the sliding sands
And zigzagging pathways

Settling there, settling there
That one's gaze is fixed
Oh, that prancing horse
Its gait is of no importance
Aloha from Anakila

Hi, this could be the wrong name for the song.The first line of words is: Kuahiwi nani o'e hale akala.
